I finally finished my first mini-to-rca last night. I'll post pics later, but I also have some thoughts:
- I used welbourne labs silver solder and Vampire rca connectors. I found it very difficult to solder the ground. Not sure if that's because of the Vampires or the solder or both (or maybe just me ).
- I used starquad. I find it really difficult working with that stuff for some reason. I always strip out too many strands.
- My Y-joint is a little funky. When I post the pic, maybe you folks can give me some advice.
- Now the important part: I used the cable last night from my ipod lineout to my NAD receiver. My new cable replaced an old radio shack mini-to-rca. For whatever reason--real, placebo, or otherwise--I believe it is an improvement.

Another member for the line of cheap crappy cables. Took the cheapest stereo plugs and hooked them up to a piece of phone cord. Can't complain though, it works fine.
I ordered it via the internet from a guy here in Europe, laopo_paypal@hotmail.com he bought 500 or so and now sells them.
I also know that somebody in the US is selling them but forgot his name.
Follow this thread http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52044 he is in there somewhere. It is were I got my info as well.
It contains also different leads to other usefull threads.

Thanks RnB, I appreciate your compliment. Sounds like it was a pretty good one with the GS-X. I saw your rig in one of Edwoods pics You'll have to tell me a little bit about that power cord

the power cord is a big thick heavy cable I made for the cd player, If im not careful itll topple the player over . Heavy enough to probably pull normal dvd players off the table
When i was setting up, the moment I pulled the cable out people were
at the so cal meet last year, I rememver seeing much thicker ones on other peoples set up.
